Bruce Perlmutter, Woodturner, Exhibits @ American Fine Craft Show

Red Bank-based woodturner Bruce Perlmutter, joins 89 other artisans and artists at the fifth American Fine Craft Show at the Brooklyn Museum November 18-19, 2017.

He wrote: “My dad was a woodworker and taught me some basics of woodturning when I was young. But it wasn’t until the 1990’s when I bought my first lathe and a few tools that I began to make bowls. They were thick-walled and boxy at first, but I found the process was exciting. I collaborate with my wife, Jill Uma, who added the color and pyrography to the piece that illustrates this post.

"It has been an enjoyable and rewarding learning experience since then, attending demonstrations and symposia, viewing new skills and observing the work of others. Now, as a member of the American Association of Woodturners and the Jersey Shore Woodturners, I mentor less experienced turners in the techniques that others have taught me while I continue my own turning and learning."

Visitors to the show can take in the magnificent exhibitions at the Museum. Concurrent ones include “Rodin at the Brooklyn Museum: The Body in Bronze,” that opens November 17; “Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt;” “Proof: Francisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein, Robert Longo,” and “Arts of Korea.”
